Exactly what I think. One of the things I was really sickened by in the programme was a TV programme which did its own "trial" of the Ramseys, inevitably finding them guilty. What on earth is the point of all this? Heh, actually, I think I know - it was because the police had no concrete proof of the Ramseys' guilt so they pressurised them into a confession (or tried to) with media hounding.
